New Moon Released! Making Lots of Money!
The New Moon release topped $20,000,000 opening night!
Fans everywhere are squealing!
Critics everywhere either like it or don't!
And so on!
I have browsed reviews of the film, and have found that female reviewers and fans of the novels liked the film better than guys and people who hated the first film.
No surprise there.
There have been some calls for 'more action! Look at all those werewolves and vampires! We need more action!'
And some complaints of things being drawn out just a bit . . .too . . . much . . .
Many people feel that Jacob Black is a great character! Surely girls everywhere will turn from Team Edward to Team Jacob based on this film!*
Other people feel that it is not good that Edward is largely absent, while many say this is good, because Jacob is a better actor, better character, wears a shirt less, more attractive, etc, etc.
Some people are saying that the loyalty to the novel is definitely a plus for fans, but some people don't like that because they didn't like the novel.**
Meet Me on the Equinox Music Video
Did you know that you can watch the Music video for Meet Me On the Equinox by Death Cab for Cutie (you know that one they made for New Moon)?
Well, you can. Amazing. I can hardly contain my excitement at this.

New Moon Official Companion Released Today
The most exciting news of the day is that The Twilight Saga: New Moon Official Illustrated Movie Companion has been released.
This means you can go to a bookstore and buy it!*
The exciting part is the multitude of stills from the movie, behind-the-scenes info, and set footage.
Libraries across the country are putting it out for people to read without buying it, but if you go this route you won't be able to look at the pitures for more than a few weeks, or however long the library allows you to keep it.
Remember, this chapter of the Twilight Saga is very exciting and even has typical guy appeal in that there is action out the wazoo. As Taylor Lautner said, and this is a direct quote, "There's a lot more action than Twilight. It's more exciting — it has werewolves and vampires, which creates fights because they don't get along. Not only does the action step up, but the whole story line does as well. Now there's a third person involved."
You know what I don't get?
What is it with Hollywood and all their ‘look these two are dating’ ‘oh no they’re not’ ‘oh they broke up’ ‘no they’re still dating’ nonsense.
Like with Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson.
Sure, they play lovers in a film franchise, and are clearly very close, so I suppose people like to think they’re dating, but they have told the media that they are not.
So why can’t they just leave it at that?
New Moon in Magazines
It's not just Jacob Black who is making headlines.
Sure, Taylor Lautner is on the cover of the October issue of Teen Vogue, and they do interview him and he talks about Bella and Jacob's relationship, seeing as that is all he ever talks about (except when he's talking about his abs, over which he and many others are very excited), but there are other magazines jumping on the Twilight Saga bandwagon.
Us Weekly, for example, is doing a 'Sexy Stars of New Moon' issue for September 25th. Fervor is such that it can already be pre-ordered at Barnes and Noble. It is suspected that this will focus on the other stars as well as Lautner's abs.
In the latest French Premiere magazine, Robert Pattinson makes a cover shot, and there are already claims of his alleged hotness to be found splashed across the internet as a result of his photo shoot. Interestingly enough, the focus is not on his abs, though as seen opposite this article, they are displayed to the general public.
Good things come to those who wait.
Shocking as it is to at least some portion of the world, the new film Bandslam didn't exactly slam to the top of the film charts, despite the promise of a new New Moon trailer. There were at least ten other films that did better in the United States this weekend.
It would appear that film producers felt that since the trailer has not thus far made enough people want to go see Bandslam, and since there's bootleg copies on the internet, they may as well release a high quality version to IMDb (please note that this is speculation only; it is remotely possible that there were other factors involved regarding this decision).
There are many questions remaining to all parties concerned, such as:
1. Why does no one want to watch Vanessa Hudgens? Is it because teens prefer her in High School Musical? Or did people really not pay attention to who was in Bandslam at all?
2. Does marketing for a film with the promise of another film's trailer just not work in this day and time?
The Highly Anticipated New New Moon Trailer
You knew it would happen.
Yes, the new trailer for New Moon has leaked onto YouTube.
This means that you can see it, in all its Jacob Black glory on the internet. You don't even have to leave your house!
This trailer proves once again that Jacob is very important, and in fact features him talking about how freaking brilliant New Moon will be, what with the action and excitement and well, Jacob.
He does talk about himself a bit.
This does happen when a young man becomes famous and suddenly women and girls everywhere throw their panties at him (yes, he has admitted such things occurring, but not in the trailer. That would just be weird and uncalled for).
More to be Seen of Jacob Black
For those of you waiting expectantly for scenic views of Jacob Black in the new trailer being released tomorrow, I have decided to give you a teaser.
If you look to your right, you will see a picture of Taylor Lautner from the film, and he is most certainly not wearing a shirt.
Readers of the book know that Jacob Black goes around with little covering his body in this segment of the story due to the fact that shapeshifting tends to destroy his clothing.
It would appear that filmmakers have decided to stay true to the book in this regard, and are fulfilling the promise of shapeshifting Native American boys in various states of undress. As far as we know, this is the sort of thing Stephenie Meyer could only imagine.
